How to receive data in form from another component

Hello everyone, I'm building a react weather app where users are allowed to enter their city name and the weather info is displayed back to the user.

The problem is, I've got the input and button in a form, and I want to receive data from another component called WeatherApp.

how do I link the two components

the formcomponent

import '../App.css';
import Input from './Input';
import Button from './Button';
import { useState } from 'react';

const Form = ({handleQueryChange}) => {
    const [city, setCity] = useState('')

    const handleChange = (e) => {
        setCity(e.target.value)

    }

    const handleSubmit  = (e) => {
        e.preventDefault();
        handleQueryChange(city);

    }

    return (  
    <div>
        <form className="inputForm" onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
       <Input value={city} onChange={handleChange} />
       <Button/>
        </form>

    </div>);
}

export default Form;

and the weatherappcomponent

import React from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter,  Routes,Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { WiDaySunny,WiCloud, WiNightCloudy,WiHumidity, WiNightClear } from 'react-icons/wi';
import Layout from './Layout';
import Home from './Home';
import Minutecast from './Minutecast';
import Hourly from './Hourly';
import Today from './Today';
import '../App.css';


const WeatherApp = () => {
const [data, setData] = useState([]);
const [query, setQuery] = useState('Accra');

const handleQueryChange = (data) => {
    setQuery(data.location.name);

}

const getWeatherIcons = (description) =>{
    switch(description.toLowerCase()) {
        case 'sunny':
            return <WiDaySunny size='100px'/>;
        case 'cloud':
                return <WiCloud  size='100px'/>;
        case 'clear':
                return <WiNightClear size='100px'/>;
        case 'partly cloudy':

                return <WiNightCloudy size='150px' color='blue' />;
        default:
                return <WiDaySunny color='red' size='100px' />;

    }
}

const convertToWhole = (tem) =>{
  const whole = Math.trunc(tem);
  return whole;


}

useEffect(()=>{

const fetchWeatherData = async () => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`https://api.weatherapi.com/v1/forecast.json?key=95f0ddb3a06a4a358cf223933242311&q=${query}&days=10&aqi=yes&alerts=no`);
    const result = await response.json();
    setData(result);

  console.log(result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error fetching weather data:", error);
  }

};
fetchWeatherData();
}, [data]);



    return ( <>
    <div className="formContainer">
    {/* <Form onSubmit={handleQueryChange} /> */}
    </div>
    <BrowserRouter>
    <Routes>
       <Route path ='/'  element={< Layout />}>
       <Route index element={<Home  data={data} getWeatherIcons={getWeatherIcons} convertToWhole={convertToWhole}/>} />
       <Route path='minutecast' element={<Minutecast />}/>
       <Route path='hourly' element={<Hourly data={data} convertToWhole={convertToWhole}/>}/>
       <Route path='today'element={<Today data={data} />}/>
     </Route>
     </Routes>
   </BrowserRouter>

    </>
    )

}

export default WeatherApp;
